My weddings are frequently featured in online and print media such as The Knot, Today's Show, Minnesota Bride, Every Last Detail, The Ruffled Blog, The Frosted Petticoat, Borrowed and Blue, Bridal Guide and The Perfect Palette to name a few.

My approach to weddings is to capture every moment you want to remember. Emotions, tears, smiles and once in a lifetime moments shared with those you love dearly. Friends and family from near and far, intricate details that took months of planning. I will be there to uniquely, unobtrusively document every second of your wedding day. It is an incredible honor to witness moments that will be cherished for generations through the images I capture. The knowledge of equipment, lighting techniques and eagerness {addiction} to get unforgettable images is what drives my spirit. We meet as strangers and leave as friends.

REVIEWS

Jeannine is amazing! I was planning my MN wedding from another state and worried how everything would turn out. Jeannine put me at ease the moment I met her, and throughout the planning process--including providing help with wedding day timeline and plans to manage our huge wedding party with lots of kids. Then, on wedding day, she handled everyone and every personality with ease! I was particularly impressed with how she worked with all the kids--and the beautiful shots she got of the kids! My husband and I cried with joy over our wedding pictures--they were so beautiful, perfectly capturing every person and every emotion. I highly recommend Jeannine--her creative eye, fun and flexible personality, and obvious talent made our wedding day (and the captured memories) so special!

P.S. She always makes sure the bride & groom get some time together and some beautiful intimate shots, which was extra special to us in the midst of wedding craziness and our 300+ guests that day!

Jeannine was the best photographer my husband and I could’ve asked for on our wedding day. She was punctual, professional, and got us our photos in a timely manner. But more importantly, Jeannine gave us the most gorgeous photos of our big day that we will cherish for a lifetime. She has an amazing eye for great shots, and she’s not afraid to do whatever it takes to get them! At one point we may have been climbing over a fence, running up a mountain to get the perfect photo as the sun set, and later in the evening Jeannine was lying on the ground to catch a special angle for a beautiful picture. She doesn’t mess around! Jeannine makes her customers feel gorgeous while taking pictures, which helps ease the nerves on your big day. She’s also extremely personable and has a great sense of humor! All of these things make a world of difference when you’ve got a stressful day ahead. One of the best parts about Jeannine on our wedding day is that she was able to corral our crazy family and friends. Let’s just say we had a wedding party of 13 that love to be loud and obnoxious- gotta love ‘em! Jeannine took charge and got every person in his or her place, while staying courteous and fun! She made sure we got photos with everyone! I would not have changed a single thing about our photography. This was our most important vendor and we are so happy with our decision to go with Jeannine!

Jeannine is AMAZING! I don't think I can say enough good things about our experience working with her. She made everything so easy leading up to our big day! And on the day itself, she and Josh made standing out in the windy fall weather bearable and even fun. She also did such a great job working with the kiddos, even when they were getting tired and cranky. And the photos!! They were everything we dreamed of and more. The emotions and moments that she captured on film are so amazing. We could not have asked for a better experience. Book Jeannine for your wedding, you will not regret it. She is worth every penny!!

I cannot say enough good things about this incredible photographer. She knows what she's doing and makes the day super fun and easy. My husband and I really wanted her to have as much creative reign as possible so we gave her a list of about 4-5 shots we really wanted, she made sure we got them and she just went with the rest of it. We had a large party of 16 total, thinking it might get a little crazy, she handled the group with incredible ease and flexibility. I would recommend going with Jeannine to anyone at anytime. She is totally prepared for anything and you will fall in love with her personality, her knowledge will put you at ease and her style will get you some of the best photos you've ever seen. Incredible!!!!!

Besides marrying my husband, booking Jeannine was the BEST decision we made for our wedding day. She is incredibly talented and was such a joy to work with. She is organized, compassionate, creative, and kind; from the first time you meet her, you feel like she is an old friend you have known for years. She helped me put together the full timeline for our wedding day, and when she showed up the morning of our wedding, I was put completely at ease because I knew she would take charge, help us stay on schedule, and keep the day flowing smoothly. Besides being naturally talented, I think it is also important to note that she is professionally trained and educated in photography, not just someone who has developed a hobby over the years. Photography is the last thing you should try and cut corners on for your wedding day, and having a professional like Jeannine makes all the difference in the world.

Her work speaks for itself, and she takes some of the most incredible photos I have ever seen. I cried tears of joy looking through our preview photos the morning after our wedding, and again when we received our full set of photos five weeks later. It is amazing being able to look through her pictures and have the same emotions wash over you that you were feeling when the photos were taken. I cannot recommend Jeannine’s services enough, and I will be forever grateful for the memories we get to relive through her photos.

Booking Jeannine as our photographer was perhaps one of the best wedding decisions my (now) husband and I made. It was apparent from the beginning (the introductory consultation) that Jeannine exceeded all expectations. Initially, I was drawn to Jeannine because of her creativity and her vision. The photos that I had seen were unparalleled and inspiring. I am a bit unconventional myself, and her fresh innovative twist on photography lent itself well to the vision I had for my big day. In fact, I could not have been more accurate, the photos exceeded all expectations and she is truly a visionary!

All that being said, what made me inevitably book Jeannine went far beyond her innovative eye; it was her charm, interpersonal skills, genuine passion for weddings/photography, etc. I have had numerous friends complain about their wedding photographers because of their lack of organization, their low quality photos, or their anxiety-provoking demeanor; however these things DO NOT characterize Jeannine in the least. In fact (and I kid you not), all of these friends have approached me since my wedding to comment on how lovely, creative, and organized Jeannine was (and this was before ever seeing any proofs)! Furthermore, many of these friends have now asked for Jeannine’s contact information for potential engagement/wedding photos. Now if that is not an endorsement, I do not know what is!

In sum, Jeannine’s work is some of the best I have ever seen and I believe this is a result of her uncanny ability to form genuine and meaningful relationships with her clients, her one-of-a-kind approach to the arts and photography, and her commitment to making your wedding day the absolute best it can be. I strongly encourage anyone looking for a wedding photographer to check out Jeannine, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

Jeannine is one of those sweet persons that you immediately feel at ease with. On top of that, her attention to detail and ability to capture your most special moments makes her an amazing photographer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Our final photos for both our engagement session and wedding are beautiful. I am so appreciative of her attention to detail, artistic eye, calm nature, professionalism, and kind heart. No regrets, she's fabulous!

There is nothing more tense than a wedding, especially if you are either the bride or the groom. Jeannine Marie has a fantastic manner that not only added joy and warmth to our event, she managed to take some unbeliveably great picture of us, our wedding preparations, our event, our reception, dinner and dancing with our guests. She runs her business totally on line so even though we live in California and we were married in Minnesota, working with Jeannine Marie was as easy as possible via her website and on-line capability. Her post event response time was amazingly fast and brought us great images in a very short time. We pick up our albums this week from Jeannine and based on working with her from 2,000 miles away, we know they will be perfect!

Jeannine Marie Photography is without question one of the premier photographers in the Minneapolis/St Paul area. Jeannine really listened to what our desires were and asked lots of good questions to get to know my husband and me, our style, and what type of wedding we were planning. She had many great ideas for creative shots and not your run-of-the-mill wedding photos. Jeannine was a lot of fun to work with but always very professional. She kept us moving with her imaginative ideas and was there from start to finish on our wedding day. She went about her business during the ceremony, reception, dinner and dance quietly and unobtrusively.
If you want beautiful, creative photos of your special day, Jeannine is definitely your top choice.
